Redbeard Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 In the circumstances I think losing them in the first place, as I usually do, is good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Sharp point of a stanley knife usually pops them out. But personally I think they look tacky and cheap so I rarely fit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might look tacky, but having a screw head showing is just bad design IMHO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onoff Posted November 28 Share Posted November 28 Always found the point of a needle best for getting the little caps out. I remember being paranoid in case the kids/cat swallowed one. Some screw covers do have a slot for a small, watchmakers style, flat bladed screwdriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
